HTC EVO pushes Sprint over 100,000 more customers

Sprint has become the little engine that could. Thanks to the hype surrounding the HTC Evo, the company’s first 4G offering, Sprint added 111,000 customers. Over the past year, Sprint has lost customers quarter after quarter. Recently, the company managed to slow the pace of loss and finally with Evo’s assistance, post a net gain.

The Sprint Evo is Sprint’s latest shining star: the first phone running on the 4G high-speed network. Sprint’s the first to market with 4G technology and the Evo is the poster child. Our Robert Nelson described the phone as, “the EVO 4G include features goodies such as a 4.3 inch touchscreen display, 1GHz Snapdragon processor and 8 megapixel camera as well as the ability to create a Wi-Fi hotspot for tethering.” Fine specs indeed.

And the public seems to have responded to Sprint’s marketing, snapping up the phone in droves.
